Robot Photographer attends her very first wedding.
All weddings are special. However,a wedding in the Midlands has become the first to have its photography handled by a robot photographer. This may well be the first wedding in the UK, and maybe the world, to have a robot photographer handling the photography duties.
Eva the Robot Photographer is very special and has been designed specifically to be able to roam around the venue - using her facial recognition technology to recognise guests, before asking them if they would like to have their photo taken. Eva's large colour screen allows guests to intuitively navigate the wide range of photography options she has to offer. After the photo has been taken, it can be printed off at a nearby print station, or Eva can upload them straight to the social media platforms of the guest's choice.
Eva heralds a change from more traditional forms of wedding entertainment, like static photobooths and magic mirrors - which coincides with the rise in use of service robots for a wide range of purposes.
Users demand interactivity from all forms of technology now, which is only going to see robots continue to rise in popularity. Robot hire is steadily growing in popularity, and this trend shows no sign of stopping.
A company spokesperson for servicerobots.com said: "People just aren't interested in traditional fun photo booths and magic mirrors anymore. They are looking for something new and memorable that will really make their event stand out. None of the guests at this wedding will ever forget their first encounter with a robot photographer and it will provide the happy couple with a lovely reminder of their special day."
With Eva making her début as a wedding photographer, it's almost certain more weddings will view service robots as a fresh yet practical approach to wedding entertainment. They offer an unparalleled level of interactivity, which is only going to continue to improve thanks to technological advancements in areas such as facial recognition and intuitive user interfaces.
Eva went down a storm at her very first wedding - couples still planning theirs are well advised to consider hiring a robot photographer, before they become commonplace.
Make a magical event more memorable by inviting Eva along to photograph the special day.
